Songs of Willow Frost (Paperback)

September 2013 Indie Next List

“Jaime Ford discovers more rich history in Seattle's International District, this time in the Depression years preceding the WWII era he so beautifully revealed in Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Readers will embrace young William and his beautiful mother, forced to surrender him to an orphanage, and nurture hope that they can reunite and overcome poverty, racism, and their family's tragic past.
Ford based Willow Frost's story on extensive research of Asians in the entertainment industry and life in Seattle during the Depression.”
